Final Thought from a Scholarship Recipient This scholarship
will help to reduce the steep financial burden of my graduate
education. In particular, the scholarship will help with summer
tuition costs as I embark on the task of preparing for my doctoral
comprehensive exams. I am excited to contribute meaningfully to the
field of HR and to SHRM as well, and this Foundation scholarship
has made these goals increasingly possible! Chelsea LeNoble 2014
